UNCERTAINTY FRAMEWORKS IN NMR
 NMR 2000
Special Session

Organizers:


Many approaches have been developed for reasoning under incomplete information with uncertain rules having exceptions. Some of them are symbolic and based on a logical framework or on logic programming; others are more numerically oriented and make use of probabilities, qualitative or quantitative possibilities, or of mathematically more general uncertainty frameworks such as belief and plausibility functions, or upper and lower probabilities. The session will especially welcome papers contributing to a cross-fertilization of ideas or tools coming from symbolic methods (normative frameworks, bilattices,...) and from numerical approaches (independence, graphical representation, conditioning,...) for NMR and revision purposes. Papers addressing problems related to the practical use and applications of probabilistic, possibilistic and other uncertainty frameworks in NMR are also expected, as well as NMR issues in reasoning about goals and preferences, or about obligations and permissions.

Informal proceedings containing accepted papers and other workshop materials will be distributed at the meeting.  In addition, they will be published on the web.

The general procedure for submission of the special session is identical to the procedure of NMR2000. Format requirements are:

       12 double-spaced pages excluding title page and bibliograpy
       on-line submissions are encouraged (postscript file)


IMPORTANT DATES:

       Submission of papers: January 15, 2000
       Acceptance decision by: February 15, 2000
       Camera ready copy due: March 8, 2000


Electronic copies of the papers can be submitted to any of the organisers of
the session: A copy also needs to be sent to Mirek Truszczynski (mirek@cs.uky.edu)
